Cytology/FNAC Information for Patients

Diagnostic Centre in Raipur

Cytology is about seeing cells under the microscope after staining (colouring ) them. This is a highly accurate, rapid, minimally painful procedure that can be done at the Diagnostic Centre in Raipur in OPD for the diagnosis of any swelling, suspicious lump or cancers in the body. It can subclassify many tumours with much less cost and is many times more accurate in diagnosis than CT/MRI.
